FAQs

Mounting the EIDB3100 in Class I Division 1/Zone 1 areas requires following the manufacturer installation sheets and site safety protocols. Ensure proper clearance, use approved mounting hardware, and confirm enclosure integrity after wiring. The unit’s non-fused design and integrated switch simplify wiring schemes while maintaining compliance with NEC/CEC requirements for hazardous locations.
The EIDB3100 provides a 100A amperage rating with horsepower options of 20, 30, and 50 HP. It operates at 240–600 VAC and 250 VDC, is non-fused, and includes an integrated switch within a copper-free aluminum enclosure. These specs enable reliable motor disconnects in demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The EIDB3100 is designed for Hazardous/Classified Locations with NEC/CEC compliance. It carries Class I, Division 1 and Zone 1 ratings (and related Division 2/Zone 2/II/III classifications per documentation) and is compatible with typical NEMA configurations, making it suitable for oil, gas, chemical, and other demanding industries.
Key certifications include NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous location ratings (Class I Division 1, Zone 1; Class II Division 1; Class III). These standards ensure safe electrical isolation and equipment protection in classified environments, reducing regulatory risk and facilitating project approval for installations in hazardous areas.
The EIDB3100 supports longer intervals between maintenance with a robust, non-fused design and durable copper-free aluminum enclosure. By minimizing downtime during motor disconnections and reducing part replacements, facilities gain improved uptime, fewer maintenance shocks, and a clear path to a favorable return on investment in high-risk environments.
